The Gaming Den

Right now we have two takers, so you each get two of the character slots to do with as you like. (If further players join, we'll redistribute.) JourneymanN00b, if you don't have access to the 3.5 books, https://www.d20srd.org/index.htm remains an excellent resource. Beroli, magic items are not valid...

I've got that pbp urge again. Kill Bargle is a basic bitch dungeon crawl, a 3.5 adaptation of the scenario from the Red Box DM book that was published in the last issue of Dungeon magazine. So the nostalgia involved is nested . The PCs are all adventurers who have previously encountered the evil wiz...

Aw, boo. What a loss.

It's possible, in that the process for domesticating cats is still unknown and so we can't say for sure that it or some variant couldn't work on lions. The domestic lion would probably be a distinct subspecies, although it could be outwardly indistinguishable from wild lions.

Notice how no one talks about the strength of the flesh! Curious.

Some do.

I concur that layering bypass-bypasses is dumb. There are so many levers in 40K that if you want some unit to be particularly effective at killing e.g. Daemons, you can just say they have some other extra benny against Daemons. I haven't kept up with 40K, so I don't even know what all the existing a...

If we close the book, I'll probably just take a break. I started this because we had two LPers out sick at the time, and I think everyone's back.

Akihiro borrows a cloak, a thing which seems like it will be very helpful underwater. Lore, 5d v 4+:1,3,3,5,5=2, success. Survival 8d v 4+:6,5,1,1,3,4,1,4=4, success. 745 The rope is tied. Now the rest of the party must try to haul it aboard whilst it is guided into place by the diver. Your diver ca...

Ti'quon's Lore is 9d v 4+:4,6,6,1,1,5,4,3,2=5, success. 643 You have found the great bronze cogwheel, lying almost buried in the wet sand. The wheel is quite heavy, and it will take many attempts to tie a strong knot around it, and in some dreadful currents. The same party member who made the last s...

643 The seas are too dangerous to risk your ship, so you will have to perform this task in the jollyboat. To get the cogwheel someone will have to dive into the rough seas around Clifftop, find and then tie a rope around the wheel. The remaining team will have to haul the heavy bronze cogwheel up. ...

643 You have been asked by the harbourmaster of Clifftop to retrieve the cargo crane's missing cogwheel from the seabed. Would you like to attend to this now (turn to 583 ), or is it too risky (turn to 82 )? Name Fighting Survival Stealth Charisma Lore Health Caster? Gear Notes Sar Jessica Dayne 7(...

716 You steer your ship around Viaan Island until you come to the harbour of the Bando. The large village is a vista of brightly painted stick huts and boldly carved statues set against the wall of trees that is the Viaan Jungle. Tribes-folk swarm the edges of the harbour, pointing and chattering a...

Wine seems super-expensive and it's not clear if this is a place where it's better to buy or sell it, so with only one vote in favor, I'm going to leave the ship teetotal. 499 You are sailing just south of the temple city of Cursus. Long war galleys patrol the coast, black-clad priests whipping the ...

We return to Cursus, get our resting done, then head to the harbor to check out boat options. 33 The harbour of Cursus is long and shallow. The jetties reach far out beyond the coast, each wide enough for a pair of dragonyaks to drag the cargoes of ships to the warehouses on the beach. [spacer]You m...

Each of the 10 dice attacks (vs TN 4) resulted in 5 damage; given the number of dice involved in that combat, I declined to record the individual die results and went straight to the outputs.

The prybar is useful if you're still at low stats, but we've reached a point where inventory space is a premium resource, so unless I hear a second I'm going to let the prybar request slide for now. I'm also not inclined to hire low-grade infantry unless I hear a second, given that there doesn't see...

I have to say that I fully expected you to use Skullcracker as an expendable scout. 903 You enter the room with your chosen party members, examining the tunnel curiously. Suddenly there is a loud crunch! Spinning around you see that a stone block has fallen to seal off the shadow door. There is a fe...

We return to the Mordain Ruins, and make our way to the plain-looking room with no distinguishing features except whatever tingle tells us that a shadow door is near. 351 If you have the code A60, turn to 527 . You invoke the shadow door, and soon enough a dark portal opens up in the west wall. The ...

Another short jaunt to Saltdad, where we visit the palace and check out the Everchild's last war council. 421 “You have done all I have asked – all I can ever ask,” smiles the Everchild as she greets you into her presence. “As a boon I am willing to provide soldiers to you, should you ever need the ...

Well, I don't know what more can be done here. If you reject 80 wound boxes as terrible, but not 10 wound boxes each with 8 subdivisions, you have left the land of reason.

It's a very short hop to Luutanesh to heal up and refresh that spell. A quick search shows that actually very few places are significantly affected by the code that denotes the new queen's reign. The most significant effect is that we can transfer troops from the Saltdad Barracks to garrisons we con...

434 You hold aloft the talisman and Imopposh screams. He casts a bolt of roaring fire that would surely incinerate you, but the impact merely makes you stagger back towards the daylight. Imopposh cannot oppose the power of the living saint himself, for in times past the two of them were rivals – bu...

862 You cautiously enter the chamber, tiptoeing around the fragile urns, the casket beyond seeming to crumble merely from the vibrations of your footsteps. Suddenly the casket explodes, sending showers of wicker and dust across the room. Emerging comes a figure of nightmare, a ghastly undead shade ...
